He is widely recognized for his experience in helping shape the high-tech industry and has served on the executive councils of most major computer vendors including Intel, Microsoft, Apple and IBM.
He is the former Vice President of the $5.3 Billion RadioShack Corporation and former VP and General Manager of Motorola Mobility's Channel Group.

Jim will be happy to answer your questions during Q&A. You are welcome to send your questions in advance of the event: arlene at tech-river dot com
Meetings:
Jim will be happy to meet people, time permitting, during the networking portions of our event.
He will also have limited time to meet one-on-one with a few selected companies. These meetings will be with companies that can benefit most from his experience - companies that intend to use channels, whether brick and mortar or e-tailing, to reach customers. They should have a product on the market or be close to bringing the product to market, and should have the resources to embark on a channel program.

I am looking for Start-Ups to join the new program by the Chief Scientific Office “מסלול סיוע לקידום חברות מתחילות”. This new program provides funding also to Product Marketing activities. The program will fund 50% of product development cost (including 20% O/H) for 2 years up to 10 Millions IS. It is a one phase application and approval covering the 2 years. After getting approved the entrepreneurs will have 6 months to get the investment for the additional required funds required for the project. The New Program assumes that a positive evaluation and an approval by the CSO will support Start-Ups in getting additional investment. Call me[masked]

No, sorry; everyone will have to fend for himself. Microsoft does not have facilities for this. But there should be plenty of parking at that time of day.

Must have - few year android development, solid software development background (computer science degree or equivalent), self managed, can work in a dynamic informal environment. Zollo is a social mobile service which helps consumers save money by comparing prices in the neighborhood for their entire grocery list. All it takes is a snapshot of a receipt, Zollo converts the receipt into a shopping list and shows the best stores taking into account distance, price and local deals. Each scanned receipt logs the prices at that specific store. This information is shared with the Zollo community.
Our vision is to empower consumer and finally bring transparency to this market.
